Yes I know this can cause problems - I particularly liked the one where I had to do a factory reset on both my Glo's a few updates ago. But in the long run apart from that glitch all my updates which have always been done through the sync process have been hassle free.

Because you need a copy of the firmware to be able to patch it and as long as you have the firmware to patch, why not side load it instead of waiting for it to sync? I don't sync firmware as I would also have eBooks syncing as well. I don't sync eBooks I buy from Kobo. I side load via Calibre. That way, I can fix the generic covers and anything else that needs fixing before loading.
